Truth be told, I do not hate the Web. I especially love the API concept. Maybe I just hate being a cog in a software assembly line lol. The past days I was amused to find out Anilist has a public GraphQL API I can query to obtain data about manga/anime. I played with it a lot, and it was bliss.

I'm going to dig into the modules you mentioned. Also, it's worth noting that I am not yet fixated on a particular domain. I'm more of a generalist anyway, given my philosophy background. Recently I watched some conferences on RPC/REST/GraphQL APIs, and it was a lot of fun. Maybe I should give the web world another try on my terms. I'm just not attracted by the combo of fancy UIs + monstrous BEs cobbled together by the labor of wage slaves like me lol.

Thanks for your input!
